Abstract
Systems and methods for a hose extension handle system including a tubular grip with distinct first and second ends, a battery carrier within the first end's cavity to hold a battery, and an engageable actuator on the first end's outer surface that is electrically connected to the battery. From the second end of the grip extends a housing including a light source, also connected to the battery and actuator. An upper strap with two extending arms and a lower strap that can be attached to these arms may be configured to secure around a hose. The light source within the housing may be aimed to illuminate the inside of the hose.
Claims20
A hose extension handle system, comprising:
- a tubular grip with a first end and a second end;
- a battery carrier of a geometry to secure a battery, disposed in a cavity within the first end of the tubular grip;
- an engageable actuator in electrical communication with the battery disposed on an outer surface of the tubular grip;
- a housing angularly extending from the second end of the tubular grip;
- a light source disposed within the housing in electrical communication with the engageable actuator and the battery;
- an upper strap forming two arms that each extend away from the housing;
- and
- a lower strap releasably secured to the two arms of the upper strap,
- wherein the lower strap is configured to engage a circumference of a hose when secured, and
- wherein the light source is positioned within the housing so as to illuminate an interior portion of the hose.
A handle system, comprising:
- a grip with a first and second distal end;
- a power source disposed in a cavity formed into the first distal end of the grip;
- an actuator connected to an external end of the power source and extending beyond an edge of the first distal end of the grip;
- and
- a light source disposed in a housing extending from the second distal end of the grip and a circular arm extending away from the housing for mating to a hose.
A multi-purpose handle for a transparent black water hose extender, comprising:
- a ridged grip with a capped first distal end a flush second distal end;
- a removable battery carrier configured to secure at least one battery, disposed in a sealable cavity within the capped first distal end of the ridged grip;
- an engageable button in electrical communication with the at least one battery disposed within an outer surface of the capped first distal end of the ridged grip;
- a housing extending at an angle from the flush second distal end of the ridged grip;
- a light source disposed within the housing at a furthest end of the housing from the flush second distal end of the ridged grip and in electrical communication with the engageable button and the at least one battery;
- a lens, secured in a water-tight manner, and disposed over the light source and affixed to the housing;
- a first strap forming two arms that each extend away from the housing that form a semi-circle, wherein each end of the two arms further comprises a releasable attachment;
- and
- a second strap forming a singular semi-circle that is releasably attached to the ends of the two arms of the first strap and configured to engage a circumference of the transparent black water hose extender when secured,
- wherein the light source is positioned within the housing so as to illuminate an interior portion of the transparent black water hose extender.
